Citi Dividend Amex: No Fee, 0% BT Until October 2007

July 16, 2006 ccwatcher American Express, Balance Transfer Offers, Cash Back Cards, Citibank

Reported by FW, this promo offer pushes the new Citi Dividend Amex:

5% Cash Back on supermarket, Drugstore, and gas station purchases

1% Cash Back everywhere else

0% APR on BT until 7/1/07, no BT fee with this offer***

$5 Cash Back on BT more than $1500

No annual fee

*** First BT and 100$ in purchases must post to account and not be returned within 3 months of becoming a cardmember to receive this rate until Oct. 1, 2007. Otherwise rate lasts until July 1, 2007. BT, Cash advances, and finance charges do not qualify as purchases under this offer.

To apply, visit www.signup.citicards.com and use offer code: P1G9

Or call 1-800-368-1265 by Sept. 15, 2006.

So it appears they’re making you jump through another hoop to get the 15-month balance transfer–namely, the $100 in purchases. It’s important to note that because of the “lower APR balances get paid off first” rule, it’s imperative that those purchases get paid off first before completing your balance transfer.

New Revised Borders Visa: Now 3% back at Borders, 2% on Gas, Dining and Groceries

May 10, 2006 ccwatcher Balance Transfer Offers, Chase, Reward Cards

Chase has made changes to its Borders 3.2.1 Visa to make it much more attractive, increasing the number of points awarded and enabling “Borders Rewards” members to double-dip. As reported by CardTrak, some of the features of the new program include:

3 points for every $1 spent when you use your Borders 3.2.1 Visa at Borders®, Borders Express, Borders.com, Waldenbooks® and Waldenbooks.com.
2 points for every $1 spent on eligible Gas, Dining and Groceries purchases.
1 point for every $1 spent anywhere else.
Redeem your 3.2.1 Visa points for Borders Gift Cards, Cash, Travel Rewards, Gas & Restaurant Gift Cards and much more! Plus, no cap on the points you can earn! Earn a $25 Borders Gift card with just 2,500 points.
0% fixed APR* for up to 12 months
No Annual Fee

Previously, you would have only received 2 points per dollar spent at Borders and 1 point per dollar spent anywhere else. Redemption options were also limited to Borders gift certificates.

In addition, “Borders Rewards” members can elect to add their Borders Rewards number to their Borders 3.2.1 Visa. Doing so allows them to also accrue 5% of their qualifying purchases on the card towards their Holiday Savings Reward.

Edit 10/22/2010: This offer is no longer available. For a list of currently available Chase cards, please see this link.

Citi PremierPass: No Fee, 0% Balance Transfer Until June 2007, $100 Gift Card

May 9, 2006 ccwatcher Balance Transfer Offers, Citibank, Signup Bonuses, Travel Cards

This deal is nearly identical to the one previously posted about the Citi Diamond Preferred Rewards AMEX, except of course it’s for a different card. As mentioned on FW:

apply.citicards.com

Offer code: Z1E1 Expires 8/15/06

Or call: 1-800-492-2015

Offer was in May 15th US News & World reports. Page #33.

Note that there are three different flavors of this card: 1) the no annual fee version, which is the version offered here, 2) the “Elite Level” version, which offers more points per dollars spent at the cost of a $75 annual fee, and 3) the Business version, which is essentially the same as the “Elite Level” but geared towards businesses.

The rewards structure is unique in that in addition to earning points for your spending on the card, you also earn points for miles flown on tickets purchased with your card. You can find more details on the Premier Pass points program here.

If you’re extra paranoid like me, you’ll have skimmed through the terms and conditions of the online application and noticed that no mention is made of bonus Thank You points, which is what I assume you will receive to exchange for the gift card. So, I would recommend applying over the phone with the offer code to confirm that the deal exists as suggested.

Bank Of America Power Rewards Visa: Free $25 Gift Card

May 6, 2006 ccwatcher Balance Transfer Offers, Bank of America, Cash Back Cards, Signup Bonuses

In case you aren’t familiar with this card already, it offers up to 2% back with no annual fee and no caps. While you also have the opportunity to redeem accrued points for other merchandise, the real value lies in the cash back redemption at the upper tiers:

3,500 Points = $25 Cash Rebate
6,500 Points = $50 Cash Rebate
9,500 Points = $75 Cash Rebate
12,500 Points = $100 Cash Rebate
20,000 Points = $200 Cash Rebate
30,000 Points = $450 Cash Rebate
50,000 Points = $1,000 Cash Rebate

As you can see, at 1 point per dollar spent, you can receive 2% cash back once you accumulate 50,000 points. Points do expire after 5 years and since the point exchange values could in theory change at any time, this is probably only attractive for big spenders. As for specifics of this signup offer, as posted on FW:

Call 1.800.807.4293 and apply for the Bank of America Power Rewards Card by July 1, 2006. Make one purchase, within 90 days you will receive instructions by mail for ordering your $25 gift card online or by phone. Gift cards are available for “hundreds of merchandisers including Blockbuster and The Home Depot

In addition to the $25 gift card, this offer also comes with 500 bonus points after the first purchase and 0% on purchases and balance transfers for the first six months. Rate after the six months will be between 11.49% and 20.49% depending on your credit report.

There was also the site www.bankofamerica.com/powerrewardsoffer mentioned in the ad, but it does not seem to work and the CSR said it should be fixed on Monday.
